Testimonials

“We had a great time. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We really wanted something different than a DJ that just put in a CD and let people dance and we surely got it with 176 Keys. They were great. We had so many people going up and dressing up like performers, the family is still talking about it. The people at the Elks are even thinking of booking 176 Keys Dueling Pianos for a Members Dinner or something like that. I know weddings are not something you probably all look forward to, but we had a GREAT time and hope the guys did too. They were great and I think the guests were good to them too! Thanks again for topping off our special day!”

Excerpt from bride’s web page: “We had a huge surprise for our guests…dueling pianos!!! They were so amazing!!! Make sure to request Mr. Sam. He is so nice and talented. Everyone and I mean everyone was dancing and singing along. It was so much fun and really made our wedding personal. They have clips on their website if you want a better idea of what they are about. The best part about it is that they are about half the price of a band.”

“On behalf of BNSF Industrial Products Marketing, I want to thank you for a fun and engaging performance. Our group places great importance on participation at events like this, and you guys are terrific motivators. The whole IP team was involved in the performance one way or another. I also want to mention how impressed the planning committee was with the turnkey product you provided to us. Planning an event like this takes a tremendous amount of time and attention to detail. 176 Keys Dueling Pianos provided a complete package and made the evening entertainment planning a piece of cake. Sam, you guys are the best. Thanks again.”

“They were professional. They were practiced. They were polite. They sure as hell can play. 176 Keys Dueling Pianos rocked the house at McDonel Hall in 2007 and they will most certainly be back. Talent and wit runs thick and in abundance. Fun and laughter is had by all. Do book them and plan for the inevitable splitting of sides.”

“176 Keys Dueling Pianos was great! The entertainment was fantastic, and the entire crowd loved the show! Way to go guys! We can’t think of a better way to have celebrated her 50th! Thanks again!”

“This letter is a follow-up to our recent dueling pianos show headlining 176 Keys Dueling Pianos. I am pleased to say that the show was a complete success, and your musical and comedic talent played a key role. … The performance by 176 Keys Dueling Pianos was simply the best. The music, the interaction with the audience was nothing less than first-rate…”

“EXCELLENCE all around….from the pre-planning sessions; to driving through a Chicago blizzard; to the actual show. 176 Keys Dueling Pianos kept 700 people engaged, smiling, and singing along. Lots of fun with rave reviews from the audience. We have already booked them for another event. Thanks for providing a memorable evening at our Leadership Development Institute.”

” You guys were GREAT! Best entertainment we’ve had at our annual meetings in years. Keeping our attendees entertained at our dinner event and making sure they leave with a smile on thier face is important to us. Not just anybody can get a bunch of tire guys excited and still be family-friendly… you had us all ‘rolling’ though. I can’t recommend you high enough to do justice. THANKS for a great evening!” “… these guys were terrific and a ton of fun. Wish I had more and better pics to send you… was pretty stinkin’ funny to watch big ol’ manly tire guys dancing to the Barney song. Kudos for a job well done.” - Kenton Johnson NW Tire Computer Support

Most people had no idea what to expect and they were overwhelmed by the variety of the songs and the professionalism you displayed.We wish you continued success and we will be sure to refer you to others.”

Excerpt from “Dueling Pianos Finds Harmony,” published in the Daily Toreador on February 5, 2007 “…For at least one weekend, the little bar on the corner of Main Street and Avenue X opened its doors for the Kappa Sigma and Beta Theta Pi fraternities. Dueling piano players were brought in from Colorado, and half the tips from the night were donated to support multiple sclerosis. Mike Gardner, president of Kappa Sigma, said the bar owner came to his fraternity and asked if it would be interested in hosting the event. “As far as I’m concerned, this goes to a great cause,” Gardner said. “The turnout’s been great, and everybody’s having a great time.” The small bar, which typically wouldn’t see so many customers on any given night, was packed from one wall to the next…”

I just wanted you to know that from what I am hearing around here everyone had a great time Saturday night! People are constantly coming by my desk to say they had so much fun! You guys made those of us who planned the ‘End-of-the-year’ party look really good. Thank you so much for providing fun entertainment – the piano playing and singing was fabulous! You guys had just the right amount of everything – from audience interaction to the ‘socials’. You guys were a big hit, and I am sure you will be hearing from us again!” Generation and Marketing Pam.Murray@westarenergy.com

“I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how much our staff enjoyed your performance at our holiday party. The dueling pianos were a huge hit. The way you involved the crowd was incredible. We had many comments that this was the best entertainment we have ever had at our holiday party. Thanks for an amazing evening of fun. We will definitely be in touch in the future.”

“Sam, just a quick note to let you know how pleased I was with you guys. Both of your were very professional and a pleasure to work with. You both worked through, with ease, a tough crowd and competing casino tables. I received great comments on all the range of songs you knew. You played with enthusiasm and it showed how you love music. The combination of your music and your personalities made our event a lot of fun…. Thanks again, you were a pleasure to work with.” - Erik Kadlec Regional Manager erik.kadlec@shawinc.com
